| Sommario/riassunto: | This study surveys a wide range of writings and ideas out of Africa by people of African descent on the various ways in which ""insiders"" and ""outsiders"", ""self"" and ""otherness"" have been imagined and defined from African perspectives. Attention is focused on identity issues regarding Africa, Panafricanism, American Black culture, Negritude and Black Consciousness, as well as on whiteness and otherness, black versus white cultures and gender matters in a racialized context. Some theoretical issues in the academic debate on insiders and intercultural dialogue are also discussed |
